    1. I'm looking for feedback on something I'm writing. As brutal as possible. The beginning is 815 words. I'm also new to Reddit...and a little inebriated in order to be brave enough to share it.
    2. I wrote this 16 years ago when I was 15, would love some feedback. “She’s a Demon”
    3. I haven’t really wrote anything in a while love some feedback. “Unfair”
